What is the meaning of the name Guryon ?

Guryon is Hebrew in Origin.

Guryon is a rare masculine given name, most plausibly a variant of the Hebrew Gurion (גּוּרְיוֹן). Built on Hebrew gur, "lion cub" or "whelp," plus the -yon/-ion ending common in Hellenistic-era Judean names, it denotes "young lion" and, by extension, youthful bravery and emergent strength.

Documented in late Second Temple and rabbinic literature, the element appears with figures such as Nakdimon ben Gurion of Jerusalem. In modern times it gained indirect recognition through statesman David Ben-Gurion, keeping Gurion current as a surname and an occasional given name in Israel and the diaspora. Spellings follow transliteration conventions: Guryon, Gurion, Guriyon, and, in French contexts, Gourion. Related Hebrew choices include Gur, Ari/Arieh, and Guriel. Note that Guryon is distinct from the Slavic name Guriy or Guri (from Greek Gourias), which belongs to a separate Christian tradition.
